It captures the essence of Trump: 'How dare he faint and distract from me'

Why am I sharing a photo of Donald Trump asleep during a presser? Because @jaketapper.bsky.social literally wrote a book about an aging Joe Biden and the media ignores what we all saw about Donald Trump.

Very interesting results in Provo this election.

I've met Marsha one time at a PTA thing and she is the chillest person who truly does whats best. I'm excited for the continue success of Provo.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Those ice agents should be fired and taken to trial for endangering a child.

If your neighbors speak a different language, go introduce yourself to them.

Chances are they have delicious recipes you have never heard of or tried.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Praying for Jamaica! Stay safe!!!

Make Trump Ruin Christmas He can't help but be corrupt, and his corruption is finally coming at the expense of regular people.

Free, half-serious idea: Make Trump ruin Christmas. www.offmessage.net/p/make-trump...

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Another lie outright. GOP in senate could change the filibuster rules they made up to only require 50 votes. There are 53 GOP senators.

I thought it was illegal to host a game west of the Mississippi??? Lol

Too many bills? Utah lawmaker proposes a limit As a new lawmaker, Rep. Clint Okerlund was surprised to see just how many bills the Utah State Legislature considers in a 45-day session.

The real test is whether lawmakers are willing to apply this kind of restraint not just to bill counts but to their appetite for power grabs and culture-war legislation.

Seriously, what a time to be alive!

In a national press conference the Speaker of the House says "The President's poop video is not that big of a deal"...

Every day we hear sentences uttered from the current GOP that no one has ever said out loud in a public place.

Utah GOP hires paid canvassers to overturn anti-gerrymandering law Utah Republican Party hires paid canvassers in bid to collect 200,000+ signatures by Nov. 15 to block new congressional maps and repeal voter-approved Prop 4.

This is disgusting from our Utah's GOP. They don't believe Utahns should have a vote and trying everything unethical to keep and gain more power.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 17th day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Note it was an FBI agent who claimed to be assaulted and said “libtard” but an ICE agent who started the attack on her for filming and lied about how it began. Also every federal agent is effectively an ICE agent now by virtue of the deputization

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench in this lawsuit over the use of force against ICE protesters in Chicago.

Q: Once you lose a customer like China, can you ever get them back?

Soybean farmer: I sincerely doubt it. Why would they?

Sen. Gallego: Speaker Johnson is protecting pedophiles. The only reason Adelita Grijalva is not being sworn in is because he wants to protect whoever is in those files, whether it's Trump or his elite friends. Speaker Johnson is covering up for pedophiles, and Arizona does not have a congresswoman

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

After veto, Cox is one step closer to being able to appoint chief justice • Utah News Dispatch The Utah Legislature revived a bill that would give Gov. Spencer Cox the power to appoint the Utah Supreme Court chief justice.

Another bill passed Monday transfers the authority to select the Utah Supreme Court’s chief justice from the justices themselves to the governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate.

It's an improvement from one test but limiting tests to just 3 is a power move to help the majority.

They Radicalized Themselves And we can pinpoint when it happened.

All Trump loyalists get a libidinal thrill watching him piss on the Constitution, but I wrote about the subset who feel exposed by their obvious hypocrisy, and so pretend it's all a regrettable consequence of Barack Obama radicalizing them. www.offmessage.net/p/they-radic...

General tariffs without any thought process is extremely stupid.

Monsters.

LOL, our current President looks like he would die if he tried to use a shovel...
